G-EAZY'S INFLUENTIAL STYLE WITH EXCLUSIVE MUSIC
UTILITIES INCLUDE ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME EXPERIENCES, FROM VIP TICKETS TO PARTIES, DINNERS & MORE
April 28, 2022 – With the launch of the first-ever NFT collection from multi-platinum recording artist and producer G-Eazy, OneOf has furthered its mission to bring the next 100 million non-crypto-native fans into Web3. Since joining “Project Coral Reef” in 2017, G-Eazy has remained steadfast in his efforts to meld both music-loving and crypto-minded worlds. Now, in partnership with OneOf’s sustainable, inclusive and accessible platform - backed by Quincy Jones and built specifically for music, sports and lifestyle - G-Eazy steps effortlessly into the NFT space, celebrating his signature fashion sense through a series of collectibles and experiences aptly called “The Geralds.”
In collaboration with Dutch artist Dzanar, who has produced visuals for Ed Sheeran, Kesha and others, each “Gerald” NFT depicts a unique trait of G-Eazy with its own characteristics and styles. Represented across Green, Gold, Platinum and Diamond tiers, "The Geralds" will be sold in "packs" and include opportunities to collect different combinations, and chance for super rare cards that comes with exclusive music, utilities for holders and once-in-a-life-time perks such as VIP tickets to a G-Eazy concert, partying with G-Eazy at Resorts World Las Vegas, dinner with him and his friends in LA, and much more.
The collection launches today on OneOf, with details on tokenomics and more available HERE.
On teaming with OneOf and Dzanar to bring “The Geralds” to life, G-Eazy says, "This partnership with OneOf has been a long time coming. My debut NFT collection has been a labor of love, combining music, fashion, and tech to showcase all of the different sides of Gerald. I think we all share the same vision of creating a sustainable Web3 future, and I'm hella excited for my fans to participate."
“I love putting my imagination to work and creating art that breathes style and substance,” says Dzanar. “Working with OneOf and G-Eazy on 'The Geralds,' allowed me to express art that creates a bridge between a multitude of areas, bringing different sides closer to each other. This project gave rise to an opportunity of artistic freedom and beauty, the very things I find extremely important in the work I do.”
